The Baldwin School

Over the course of more than 130 years, The Baldwin School has earned its reputation as one of the best private schools in the Philadelphia area. An all-girls school, Baldwin combines premier college preparatory curriculum with distinguished arts, athletics and community service programs. Students at Baldwin are guided by top faculty who are experts in girls' education, offering an experiential learning environment within a supportive and encouraging educational community.

Considered a second home by our students, Baldwin develops talented girls into confident young women with the ability to make significant and enduring contributions to the world. To promote a spirit of partnership, cooperation and trust between home and school, Baldwin created this agreement to guide our community and our actions.

The Baldwin School, an independent college preparatory school, develops talented girls into confident young women with vision, global understanding and the competency to make significant and enduring contributions to the world. The School nurtures our students’ passion for intellectual rigor in academics, creativity in the arts and competition in athletics, forming women capable of leading their generation while living balanced lives.

At Baldwin, we seek to provide the richest learning experience for our girls. We focus on how girls learn best and what girls need to thrive. We want every girl to reach her full potential. From Pre-K through Grade 12, we create confident and resilient learners who take pride in their work, challenge themselves to learn more and develop a curiosity about the world around them. Girls will experience the thrill of scientific discovery, the joy of reading, the triumph of overcoming challenges and the satisfaction of seeing their own creations performed and displayed around the School.

Our world-class faculty cultivate an environment that supports our girls in their learning process, challenging them to tap into their interests, take risks and collaborate with others. They provide unique opportunities for our girls to learn beyond the classroom through programs and partnerships with the broader community and they bring their expertise into the curriculum through a range of elective courses and co-curricular opportunities. Explore our rich curriculum at all levels of the School and see what amazing opportunities our girls have to enrich their lives and learn to lead in their communities and the world.
